Hi Peggy,
I know what the rule book says about HC but the condition was only recognised in the past 30 years so who's to say the rule book is definitive?
I haven't even spoken to another CH sufferer who has pain all day for several days at a time. That doesn't mean it can't happen - I've just never heard of it. But HC is supposed to be continuous with no relief unless the sufferer goes into remission.
My headaches were textbook CH for the first 11-12 years. If you looked at it over the past 7 months, it looks much more like HC, but I do get breaks in the pain. Today the pain is back, and if it continues, I'm going to ask to try indomethicin as well. At least it'll rule out HC if it doesn't work.
Please let me know how you get on. Good luck!
Joe
